I gave up on trying to enjoy my weekend for this week.
Random Fact: Comcast is literally so poorly received that they've won an award for being the worst company in existence.
Haha. Internet issues!

That sudden realization when you realize that there just might be a rare model of the K6-3+ family that supports CMOV...
Random Fact: Though many distros have long-since abandoned i586-class processors, there's still a small handful that remain supporting it, both due to the necessity to be small and quick, and due to the nature of the distros as being the "lightweight linux" versions.

My Own Reality progress
1 - "Wake up." - Draft 2.1
2 - "Take a look around." - Draft 2.1
3 - "There's so much to see," - Draft 1
Added in a missing detail to the first chapter, began work on third chapter. The third chapter also addresses a minor plot hole pointed out by commenters in Pony-Me, replacing the food that Lisa eats after waking with something that'd be more digestible to someone who hasn't eaten solid food in years.
Story updates
Time travel solves everything. Except when it doesn't.
Random Fact: The headphone jack and its cable have literally existed for almost a century, if not more.
Boy, I haven't written this much in a single day for months.
Random Fact: While still quite a bit underpowered compared to many phones and tablets, the Raspberry Pi's third revision is capable of running full Android Nougat.
Seriously, I don't even remember when the last time I did a triple-update was.
1 - "Wake up." - (Draft 2)
2 - "Take a look around." - (Draft 2.1)
3 - "There's so much to see," - (Draft 1)
Finished chapter 2, rearranging the chapter names a bit to fit the chapter progression better. I'll be working on Chapter 3 tonight, and likely will post another status update on the story then.
As per usual, my weekend is much busier than my weekdays.
Random Fact: So apparently a Frisbee spinning at high RPMs will quickly and easily cut your finger if you catch it at an angle in which it perfectly digs under your fingernail. Don't worry. The bleeding stopped already.
Probably no updates or anything today. Sorry. :P
When you try so hard but you don't succeed...
Random Fact: Not all motherboards are built the same, even if the CPU physically fits, that doesn't guarantee a working system! I learned this the hard way...
Welp. The CPU upgrade arrived today. I am now the proud owner of a fancy box with a CPU upgrade kit inside. Why? Because the mobo isn't compatible.
Turns out that I overestimated what to expect when it came to the practice SAT. Also, for some reason, even though the universities in my area use the ACT test, the high schools give out practice SAT exams.
Welp. About half a week with my new phone so far, and I've got some good and bad news. But first, here's the usual.
Random Fact: I find it more comfortable occasionally to just kinda sit in my office chair backwards, leaning on top of the back rest. It's an old chair, but it's still comfy enough to sleep in.
Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alrighty, let's get on with what's on my mind.
Good:
Quick, someone give me a small loan of $230!
Random Fact: Java SE 6 U0, AKA Java/JRE 1.6.0, is apparently one of the last versions of Java to actually live up to its name as "i586-compliant", according to the installer names. There's the x64 version, and the i586 version. Every version of the i586 build I've tried past the original SE6 crashes upon launching a jarfile complaining about CMOV, which is an i686 instruction.
I am the darkness, I am the light, I am your worst fear... I AM YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND UNPAID BILLS!!!
Tell your friends about your birthday party when you have a bit more privacy, or else the entire class will want to go.
Random Fact: Linux was once called "cancer" by Steve Ballmer, a former Microsoft CEO. Fast forward now, and you can now run Linux on Windows using an app produced in conjunction by Canonical and Microsoft. Canonical develops Ubuntu, which is by far one of the most popular and well-known Linux distros.
Don't you love it when you get shot on accident by your NPC sidekick who was targeting some rats but hit you instead?
Just like before, these are getting more and more uncommon as I'm finding myself breaking up my day into separate blogs. Either way, let's just get on with in. :P
I did not build my PC to get hundreds of frames per second only to have the freakin' server lag instead.
Random Fact: Mineplex probably runs its servers off of a potato rack. Probably. Either way, they're pretty much one of the laggiest (and biggest) Minecraft server to exist.
Not your usual daily blog this time. WARNING: THIS IS A RANT ABOUT THE STATE OF THE WORLD, AND MAY CONTAIN INSULTS.
Let's start it off with something a bit widespread.
Global Warming. If you don't think it's real, screw you. The place I'm living in is heading for another drought soon if things don't get snowy.
You know how in the Northern Hemisphere, it should practically be winter by now?
And you know how Utah is supposedly well-known for its snow?
Well golly-gee, it's been quite a while, hasn't it?
Random Fact: For the first time in nearly a decade, AMD is actually beginning to see a higher market share than Intel in certain areas of the world.

Never take what you think you know for granted. 10th grade is certainly telling me that.
